7 Celeb-Favorite Sunglasses For Springtime

When you book your first big gig in Hollywood, you're handed an agent and some oversized shades — or, that's what we like to think. Even to us non-famous folk, wearing a pair of statement sunglasses feels like a luxury; it's like we're shielding ourselves from the nonexistent flash of a nonexistent camera.

One way or another, celebrities are forced to learn a thing or two about eyewear. They're either based in Tinseltown, where the sun (almost) always shines, and/or they just like to keep a low profile wherever they go. Inevitably, celebs develop preferences. Some are into the classic thing, with a penchant for Wayfarers and cat-eyes. Others aren't afraid to get funky, playing around with quirky shapes and bright finishes. Now, as spring is (hopefully, please, fingers crossed) around the corner, we're turning to the biggest and brightest of Hollywood to inspire our eyewear shopping for the sunnier days ahead. After all, these folks have pretty good taste.

Emma Roberts takes her Quay Australia frames all around L.A. We, too, love this take on the eyewear trifecta (acetate, oversized, and cat-eye).

Beyoncé sat front-row at Yeezy Season 1 back in February, offering quite the colorful contrast to the mostly green, gray, and beige palette at the presentation. But, out of all the attention-grabbing moments during the show, it was Queen B's perfectly round, gilded frames that took the cake (at least in our eyewear-centric book).

Eyes are the window to the soul — unless you find the perfect reflective frames to hide them behind. Clearly taking a page out of the undisclosed celebrity-style handbook, Gigi Hadid opted for a mirrored pair to shield her during Fashion Week — much like Beyoncé, Gwen, and Solange before her.
